Your first Saturn return, occuring just before you enter your 30s, is like getting audited by Saturn, the IRS of the planets. Overdue bills must be paid, records must be cleared, details are critical and your world goes through the mill. Your go-to confidence is revealed to be self-delusion. The shakeup can cost you in emotional ways as well, as you could feel unloved and unknowingly repell your friends and loved ones when you need them the most. Marriages and other significant relationships have a way of ending during this transit. Saturn return often accompanies a loss of income, via losses in business, property, reputation, even of your own freedom of movement.

The power of Ophiuchus emerges from women as a cloud of ether, her medium. The roots of man's conceits and lies shrivel and die. Men respond by persecuting her. This shows up in the backlash in the nuclear family, increases in suicides, drug deaths, Autism Spectrum Disorder, rape and pornography, and a whole range of asocial behavior; the disintegration of the center. The end of an era is always marked by collateral damage.

We're just drawing to a close of Saturn in Ophiuchus which seemed to have "infected" the global economy and its governments with breakdown and gridlock. What can Ophiuchus do to avert disaster? Can women's power solve our problems? Can a female CEO take dominion over the state? MORE
